To all whom it may concern:

- ';Be it'k'nown that L'Monesiv 'B nNnY, a citizen of the United States, residin at New Rochelle, county of lVestchester, .btate' of New York, have invented a certain new; and

following is a 's'pecific'ationz. I

This invention relates-to improvements in motor boats or yachts of the' crulser type useful =Motor Boat or Yacht, of which the much available living space as possible on a g ven length. Second: To rsolatethei'en- .ginerooin and-at the same time render it" well Ventrlatedand Smtable'for berthlngthe professional crew. Third: To provide access to the cabin directly from the bridge "deck, but without intruding the accpmmodation. ladder into the cabin. These and further'objects will more fully appear from ratelyb In thedrawings, Figure 1 is a deck" plan of the entire boat; Fig. 2 is a below deck ingdrawings, considered together or sepa 33 of Fig. 2; Fig. 4 isga similar 'vie'w taken on the line 4:4= of Fig. '2; Fig. 5 is a deck plan of the midship portion of the vessel; Fig. '6 isa section on the line 6 6 of line 7-7 ofFig. 6; .Fig. Sis asection on the line 8 8-of Fig. and Fig. 9 is a detail of a modification. ,gFigs-l and 2 are on a smaller scalethan the otherfigures;

The drawings represent amoto'r boat of about forty feet in length and eleven feet wide, propelled by a single engine of the internal combustion type and having sleep ing accommodations for ten persons.

Certain features of the invention may be employed in connection with vthose illustrated or may be utilized in connection with different cabin layouts, especially in the stateroom part. v

Referring. to Fig. 2, in the embodiment chosen for. illustration a i's the engine-room, bis the cabin, c isthe galley. or kitchen, (1

the forward stateroom, e the lobby and f the after stateroom. The engine room a is lopartly under the raised. deck 2. The cabin b and galley c are located under-the raised deck 2. The two staterooms and lobby are hinged upper berths'sothat four pejrs and-has for. its objectsz'First: To secure as merit of galley; and cabin.' v Thebridge deck utilizec g g therefore, should be atalowerlerel than a the following specificatlon and accompanyplan; Fig. 8 is a section taken on theline sengers is greater.

It is located forsofas, as shown, andfin addition mayfhay'e I ferred arrangement of. tliestateroon'is" and I cabin, and, I' consider it an extreniely 'de relation to the raised deolrishighly de'sirable," because it keeps the weights 16w; the

passengers are protected from "wind and spray by the raised deck, the awning isl'ow and the pitching androlling movement is [ward of the after edge of thefr'aisedjd'eckf On the aft part of the raised. deck isan erectrance to the cabin is had froin the bridge panion way 6.. 'Therej'is an openingin the tion or house i." Thiser'ection or house cit-'1 tends forward from' the" bulkhead. En

deck-by means of the ladder 5 and coinraised .deck, under the erection awnings whlch the ladder extends. This opening'extends forward a SUlflClQIltillSliitIlCG to allowa person to go downer 'iipthe ladderwithout striking his head against the 'raised deck.

The companionv way has-the usual slideandfc doors. The ladder 5 extends" from the 01, a:

ward edge of thebridge deckto a 'p'o'intnotfarther aft than thebulkhea-d atthe point 1 "Where the latter is intersectedby: the cabin floor. In order to allow the ladderito' go i to produce an opening.- This opening isat through the bulkhead, the latter iscut away 1 least aswide as the ladder. It ex tenclshwer a tically from the upper edge ofthe bulkhead to thatpart of the ladder whichprotrudes forward through the bulkhead, see Fig.1 :7-.;

The denth of the opening will be determined by the angle of inclination of the ladder, and the width of the side members thereof. On one side'of the opening is a hatohway 7, and on the other side is a'hatchway 8. Each of these hatchways communicates solely with the engine, room. Below eachhatchway :is an opening 21 through the raised deck 2, see Fig. 3.

It is desirable that the engine room he entirely-cutoff from the cabin, liieanstmust therefore be provided to inclose the space on each side of the ladder, and the back thereof, so that the engine room will be entirely separated from the cabin in spite of, the

bulkhead being pierced by an opening.

-. This means is as follows: On each side of panel extends from the bulkhead 3 aft to the ladder 5' is a panel 9 (see Fig. 7), This the ladder and upward from the ladder to ,the aft edge of the raised deck. Onthc back oi the ladder is another panel 10, this panel being as wide as the opening through the bulkhead 3. These'panels 9, 9 and 10 inclose the open space'produced by the Open ing in the bulkhead. Thepanels 9, 9 may 'be integralwith or separated from the bulk 3 head. The-panel 10 may. be'secured to the h the panel is integral with the ladder. In. this embodiment of the invention the panel from the cabin, thepanels 9, 9 are extended upward to the top of the erection and for or ports 11 allowing the entrance of light aft inclined edges of the panels 9, 9 or it may be attached to the ladder, or may bea part thereof.-

Fig. 9 illustrates a modification 1n which is zigzag in longitudinal section, and may be formed of the treads and risers of the lad- --der, with tight'joints.

For the purpose of separating that part of the engine room, which isin the erection,

ward to' its front side. These parts of the panels may be integral with the previously described-parts which lie in advance ofthe ladder.v a I On, eachside'of the erection are windows or. window .13 communicating with the cabin. I This window is desirable, but not Y necessary. Additional ventilation to the cabin and engine room is secured by means of side ports 14.

Entrance to or egress from the engine room can be made through one of the open. -ings 21, 21 and either of theqhatchways 7 or 8 by means of the ladders 1,5, 15. Theenglne 16is located in the center line erection The jdrawings'illustrate a central opening mes es of the boat and flywheel is under the ladder 5. The space between the two bulkheads 3 and 22 see Fig. 7 determines the length of the engine room. The steering gear 17 and reverse lever 18 are located upon the bridge deck andover the engine room. The reverse lever can'extend directly through the bridge deck and by a short and simple connection, such as isllh stratedin Fig. 7, can be attached to tllQ'IBYGISB gear.

The usual gas and spark controls can-be boat andat the same time to. be seated. The

arranged close to the steering gear and connectd to the engine through very short connections which are not liable to get out of" order. The seat 20 on the after house-19 allows one person tocomp'letely control the fuel tanks, 23 are preferably located as shown within the engine room so that the trim of the boat is-not altered by-the emptying or filling of the tanks. B'erths for the side these tanks, as shown folded at 24.

professional crew may .be arranged along.

The headroom in, the cabin '6 should be at 1 least six feet; The headroom in the .engi e room a will be the same, through so much as is under the raised deck,- Under the bridge deck the headroom will be less, but

inconvenience will not exist as the-e'nginer can stand up along oneside of the ladderb,

see Fig. 8, and crank the engine, and also make mostfof the adjustments necessary-{to run it.

The embodiment ot'the invent-ion illiifstrated with the erection or house .t'is considered desirable in vessels pf small size. In larger Vessels, or where for any reason the erection is undesirabletit may beornitted from the design. In ,this case the co.m

panion way would be directly on the raised deck, and the hatchways 7 and i8-wouldalso be directly on'the raised deck. I have illustrated and described the ports or windows? 12, -12 as communicating with the engine room, to assist in the lighting and ventilat ing thereof. This, while highly desirable,

is not essential, as the windows or ports may be omitted, or they may not communicatewith the engine room.

The ladders 15,15, maybe either or both of the hatchways 7 or 8,. and if desired but a single hatchway, either 701 8,-

may be u ed, the opposite side of thecoinwith an opening for light or entilation,

orboth.

The'raised deck is illustrated in the drawings as extending all the way from-the bridge deck to the bow and as wide as the hull, but this deck need not be so long as to"- used under .jpanion way being either closed or provided:

eXtendallft'he way to the-bow and it :need

not be as wide as the hull.
